Ahmadiyyas: The Untouchables of
Pakistan

Islam says that there will come a messiah before the end of time to
lead the Islamic community. Qadyanis, aka Ahmadis (Ahamdiyyas), are
a Muslim sect, who think that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835–1908)
was their messiah. This sect was founded by Ghulam Ahmad in Qadiyan,
a place in India, towards the end of the 19th century. They are now
divided into two groups: Lahori and international Ahamdi group.
Qadyanis preach that the Jihad of the sword, initiated by the duo of
Allah and Muhammad in the 7th century Arabia, is now abrogated. They
aim to Islamize the world by dawa.

This is ridiculous in the extreme that Muslims waste more
energy in giving fatwas to make Muslims non-Muslims than
giving “dawah” to invite non-Muslims to Islam. Perhaps, dawah
is a difficult task nowadays.

Today I was watching a video of
Zaid Hamid, who is Pakistan’s so called think-tank and ex-Mujahid
of the Afghan War. He was repeatedly saying about human rights
abuses of untouchables and minorities of India. I don’t know about
conditions of minorities in India; but what I know is that being an
animal is better then being a “dhimmi” in more “Islamic” and less
democratic Republic of Pakistan.

Pakistan is one of the
nations in this planet earth that openly persecutes non-Muslims
and even some Muslims.

Pakistan openly
distribute pamphlets and literature against non-Muslims and sects
of Islam. Pakistani government spend state money to distribute
literature against Qadyanis. But Qadyani literature is banned in
the unholy land of Pakistan.

Pakistan is a state on
the planet earth where there is no freedom of speech, freedom to
walk, talk and even breath. No freedom to breath in a sense that
an ex-Muslim like me won't be able to inhale oxygen from this
land, if I openly declare my apostasy.

Pakistan is a land on
the planet earth where Qadyani students are expelled from
educational institutions due to their religion.

Pakistan is a place
where even a Nobel laureate (Prof. Abdus Salam was a Qadyani) is
disgraced just because of his belief in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.

Pakistan is a country
where students boycott classes because they don’t want to be
taught by Qadyani teachers.

In Pakistan, Ahmadis
are burnt alive at “rabwa” station.

Pakistan is a state
that uses clauses like “blasphemy” to legalize persecution.

Pakistan is the only
land, where your house will be demolish if you join or support the
Ahmadiya Muslim movement.

Pakistan is a land,
where newspapers and editors have no respect for other religions.

And at the end of day, Zaid Hamid is right; Pakistan has a lot in
common with Medina of Prophet Mohammed. Pakistan is the same Medina,
where Mohammed massacred the Banu Quraiza Jews. History is being
repeated.

Now I will like to share some facts about persecution of Ahmadi
sect of Islam after my long and emotional speech.

This is an annual
summary of events of persecution committed against the Ahmadi
minorities of Pakistan:

As described above, Pakistan is the only land on the
planet earth which allows persecution legally. According to Article
18 of the United Nation’s universal Declaration of Human Rights:

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and
religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or
belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and
in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in
teaching, practice, worship and observance.

Let us check the following summary of Offences Relating to
Religion in Pakistani constitution:

Are not these constitutional clauses clear violations of the UN’s
Declaration of Human Rights to which Pakistan is a signatory?

Nowadays, Pakistan is using different tactics to divert India’s
attention from the Mumbai massacre. The main thing, which Pakistani
TV channels are repeatedly broadcasting is that, there are
untouchables in India; Muslims are being persecuted etc.

As a conscientious human being, I appeal to everyone having
access to mainstream Media in India and other Western countries to
highlight the persecution of Ahamdi Muslims as well as other
non-Muslim minorities in Pakistan to create pressure on the
government to stop the state-sponsored violation of human rights.
